Nah, in retail, we used to have this software known as "secret shoppers." If they didn't see someone smiling, the store or department would be docked points on its evaluation, and you'd be hearing about it from your boss and boss's boss. Now all of us WFH minions below the lowly programmers will be subject to a smiling rictus as our cameras, microphones, and keyloggers determine productivity scores, work morale, and redundancy scores for the next layoff.

- Qem 4y agoHow long before somebody uses AI to permasmile your face in virtual conferences? The market is ripe for an arms race here.

- peteradio 4y agoOh man, thats too funny, can you imagine the glitchy smiles snapping off someones face as they slightly turn their head? All the sudden every meeting is filled with barely perceptible uncanny artifacts... So far everywhere I've worked is cameras off except for intimate meetings (and even then its optional/reciprocated), usually a few people will try to keep their cameras on to start a trend or something but I imagine ends up feeling like an idiot with the only camera on.
- corobo 4y agoCreate 2 scenes in OBS, one a pure black background, one pure green. Video devices always seem to flicker between black and green when they're broken. Click the "Start Virtual Camera" button and switch to this webcam in your conference software, flick between the two scenes semi-rapidly "ah man, my webcam is playing up" https://obsproject.com/ https://obsproject.com/
